According to public data, the first Kilo Class subs were built in the early 1980s; ours was contracted in 1985, and received in 1986.

Victor,
To BUY new bat. for it from the Russians,it's a lot of money,since they know there's no other sourse,and they charging many times more the real value.
To BUILD new batteries,it's a lot of money ,since you have to create a new tehnological proces (and who needs it?) .Again a lot of money.
ANd for what?

Then tell us how much it costs to buy new batteries for the Delfinul. The price of a new diesel submarine of this size and capabilities is 250 million USD. If it would be so, then nobody would buy this ship model. Batteries have to be changed from time to time whatever submarine type you have in your Navy.

And you are wrong. Russia isn't the only source for batteries. India has installed its own batteries (Gerrman designed) that have a lifespan of 5 years. See here: http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/NAVY/Sindhugosh.html

Agarici already answered why the overhauling of the Delfinul is neccessary.

Recently I was looking at the Romanian Navy web site and to my surprise I haven't find any information regarding only Romanian submarine Delfinul. What happened to the sub?! Was it put out of the service due to the lack of the batteries?! Regards, crolick

The sub is listed among the other vessels of the Navy in the section presenting Comandamentul Operaţional Naval.

Hmm thank you Carol I for the link.
I was searching for the sub in the organisation, and she's ain't there. Also used search and didn't reseive any results for 'Delfinul' - strange

OK - so two questions:
(1) Do you know Soviet number of your Kilo [and shipyard number, etc]?!
(2) What is currently happening with the sub?! Is it all the time moored in the harbour?!

Best wishes,
crolick

Sorry, I do not have answers for any of your questions. Maybe others have more information.

The cost could be moderate to expensive, However, it could worth the cost; becuase it would make Romania's only submarine a far more potent and useful weapons system.

Hello friends,

again I have 2 questions on Delfinul:
1) Did sub laready received its new batteries?! Or this plan was cancelled?!
2) According to the Treaty of Peace [signed February 10, 1947 in Paris], Article 14:

QUOTE

Romania shall not possess, construct or experiment with any atomic weapon, any self-propelled or guided missiles or apparatus connected with their discharge (other than torpedoes and torpedo-launching gear comprising the normal armament of naval vessels permitted by the present Treaty), sea mines or torpedoes of non-contact types actuated by influence mechanisms, torpedoes capable of being manned, submarines or other submersible craft, motor torpedo boats, or specialised types of assault craft.

If so, why Romanian Navy received in 1985 new Kilo type submarine?!

Cheers,
Andrzej

Yes, I might but I was not aware of that fact

Anyway - any idea why is it so?! In case of Finland similar harsh conditions are kept until today!!

Both countries have a bigger fleet. “Delfinul” could play the decoy during the training exercises of the Romanian antisubmarine ships. Even for that the maintain costs are to big. In modern warfare the priority in defending your territory is to have a strong Airforce and a modern AA defence. The last wars and even the last part of WW2 in France (when German army could not move properly during day) have proved it. AGC
